Ooops

Nope, this is “Your system ran out of memory and now this program isn’t reacting anymore (it’s trying to allocate memory but there is no free memory left). Please stop the program or try to get rid of some of its subprocesses to free up memory.”

I always thought sociopaths need to learn how to fake it well to operate in society. But I guess that requirement goes out fo the window when you replace society with GOP.

He is accidently right. There should not be a narrative in the first place.

But people eat up Israel and Hamas propaganda like crazy.

And what gets lost is an actually nuanced discussion where people can criticise Israel’s actions without questioning if the country has a right to exist and defend itself in the frist place and being grouped with antisemites amplifying the same message but for the completely wrong reasons. And where people can criticise Hamas without instantly being in the same camp with those supporting genocidal actions against Palestinian civilians.

Thanks to social media this has instead devolved into a brain-dead team sport only build on narratives. With facts and common sense being lost and one side pushing narratives helping the other to do the same, when there is no actual right side, only degrees of wrong.

“By invoking international law…”

… which they have failed to ratify for how many decades now?

Basically yes. Or: the term is fine; in the eyes of people who never heard or thought about its racist origin.

And your were entirely on the right track when your first comment started with explaining the origin first. When that’s your starting point and you then get the response “But I’ve been saying it for years”, it’s probably far more successful to go with “Yes, but it can be offensive for people knowing its origin, so why not use available alternative terms?” than with “bro it’s been fucking racist for years”. In one case people have a high chance on thinking about it, in the other they will instictively feel attacked and get defensive about it.

I just don’t understand why people are attached to it

Because words aren’t racist, people and opinions and sentiments expressed by them are.

When the term ricing is used for so long and 95%+ of people don’t know where it came from and have zero negative connotations associated with it, your argument (from their perspective) sounds like this:

“Don’t use the term, by its obscure origin you didin’t even know about it is racist”

“I’ve been saying it for years without any racism intended nor perceived”

“bro it’s been you are being a fucking racist for years”

And then you are surprised by the negative reaction…

There is no legal definition or concept for a “wealth tax”. You usually tax income or you tax property.

And while taxing property is the more obvious one, both can be a wealth tax depending on who is paying majorily by its design (for example a progressive income tax where low incomes barely pay anything reaching 90%+ over a certain limit -see 1950- is definitely a wealth tax).

Correct. There are still games that don’t work because there is actual work being done to make them not work.

I wonder where the problem is… must be Linux’ fault.

So you are still at the “dead birds” part of the fairy tale retelling? It will get from shit show to clown show once they move on to try arguing with “science” like the imaginary health issues caused by infrasound.

The argument here is always that EVs need to solve a problem to become viable. No, they don’t. They don’t need to develop EVs with insane ranges to adapt to a non-existent infrastructure.

That’s just diversion. Fix the infrastructure instead of pretending that EVs need fixing imaginary problems first.

That’s not an EV problem, but one of infrastructure.

This is like complaining about useless combustion engines when driving somewhere with no gas stations…

How, by couping a country with a lot of lithium like Bolivia?

For starters… by getting rid of lithium. Alternatives might have a lower energy density in theory but also not the thermal issues of lithium-ion batteries. Which means you can pack them more densely without issues, or -even better- produce bigger cells instead of stacking small ones. So in practice they will perform on a similiar level but cheaper, making lithium-based batteries a niche product for high-end luxury items where you pay much more for a little bit of extra performance.

Next Step: You have batteries that don’t run hot or might explode when damaged anymore? Stop putting them insinde the car but make the battery an integral part of the frame.

And that’s just the theoretical side. The economic reality is that a lot of the benefits of lithium batteries are not based on the tech itself but coming from a decade of experience (and optimizations) in manufacturing. A lot of that experience is partly applicable to alternatives so they will reach a similiar maturity in a fraction of the time (= just a few years).

If your conscience and your religion lead you to an idiotic, misogynic and xenophobic fraud with obvious delusions, you don’t actually have the former and the latter is irrepairably broken.

No. Media bullshit is sitting at the core of a lot of today’s problems and the massive polarisation on basically any topic.

Anger at low level journalism rags and even more at outlets trying to look respectable while actually having a similiar quality (and that definitely includes Business Insider ever since they were bought by the shithole of journalism that is Axel Springer SE) cannot be misplaced at all.

Common sense, data and actual arguments? Yes, those are completely useless as a platform since post-factual populism has replaced real politics.

Vegan pepperoni

Only US’ians mistake flavor in the sausage for the name of the sausage, so everywhere else it’s already vegan.

Do they only kill flying whales or are the others at risk of accidently jumping into the blades, too?

There’s probably a chameleon there, but well camouflaged…

Since most phone apps nowadays use the same set of emojis and just generally come with a skin tone selection for all of them that’s not an issue anymore.

I’m frankly surprised there’s assets left to give Ukraine at this point?

Many countries have really strict laws in place when it’s about the government’S ability to seize money, because those who don’t might see opposition funds and then democracy gone…
